Singers join the "flash mob" at the Salina Central Mall.
Shoppers at the Salina Central Mall Sunday afternoon received an unexpected pleasant surprised when a group of about 60 people broke out into song.
The “flash mob” of singers was the brainchild of Salinan Kim Klucas. She tells KSAL news that she got the idea from several “flash mob” similar events that she saw online.
About 60 people participated in the event at the mall in Salina.
At about 12:30 a small group stood up in the food court and started to sing “Joy to the World”. Others then began to stand and join them. Before it was over, they also sang “Go Tell it On the Mountain” and “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”.
Klucas says that among the singers were students from Kansas Wesleyan University and Bethany College. Members of University United Methodist Church, First United Methodist Church, and Trinity United Methodist Church also participated.
The event had its desired effect, bringing smiles to the faces of those who saw it. Klucas says that she is very pleased with the outcome.

As nice as this is, it's not really a "flash mob". A flash mob is supposed to be more than just a bunch of people signing holidays songs, it's supposed to surprise people. If you want to see a real flash mob, look at the flash mob that KU students did at a basketball game : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_sET0J07KM

How delightful...sorry Debbie Downer, srjayhawks, couldn't see past the headline to see the value of this community building event. I suppose you kick puppies, too. Nice work, Methodists (and a few Evangelical Lutherans). God heard your songs of praise no matter what you call it.
